Westside : SURFERS INJURED
Two 18-year-old surfers remained hospitalized with neck injuries Tuesday after hitting the ocean floor in separate accidents earlier this week.
The accidents--one at Will Rogers State Beach on Monday and the other at Zuma Beach on Sunday--occurred as the men went over the front of waves on boogie boards and slammed head first into the ocean bottom, county lifeguards said.
Mark Fugleband, who was injured on Monday, was listed in critical condition at UCLA Medical Center.
Simon Kim of Eagle Rock, was listed in fair condition at the hospital.
